Most visits to Turkmenistan are trouble-free.
The land border between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan has been closed. Security has been strengthened on the other land borders.
Turkmenistan has toughened regulations for entering the country. Entry into the country is now permitted only if a visa has been obtained earlier. Travellers must not overstay their visas. Travellers should also register with the State Service of Turkmenistan for the Registration of Foreign Nationals if staying for more than three days.
Travellers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be against civilian targets including places frequented by foreigners.
Travellers should carry an identity document at all times. Requests to produce proof of identity, for example by the police, are frequent.
